A rare big tennis play on a player I no longer trust...

[SBR Lou]

Ana Ivanovic is -139 vs Nadia Petrova.

I'm going with ole' unreliable here, and laying that price. If she screws me again, I'm going to have to simply delete her name from my tennis handicapping model and never evaluate her again, but I'm thinking the Serbian Sharpshooter gets it done with class in straight sets.

Come on Ana. Do it and you're getting an avatar.

i like to give her a grand slam

[SBR Lou]

Ana broken to open the match.

[SBR Lou]

Well, this one's over.

Congrats Petrova backers.

[pico]

chalk lou did it again

[JsmooveFTW]

She's on her way to fading out of the top 20. Losing to Petrova is a bad sign. She's the ultimate choker

[EaglesPhan36]

Not over. She's in control in the 3rd, but I still wouldn't trust her. Congrats on your backbone Lou. Tough b-yotch to back.

[SBR Lou]

Let's go Ana, hold the break!

[illmatick]

strong comeback, hope she holds for you

[mathdotcom]

Good work Lou

At least it wasn't -700

[SBR Lou]

Ivanovic blows so hot & cold. She was up 4-1 and serving then lost the next 4 games.

[RiverRaid]

Bitch is having an epic meltdown. She can still pull it out though.

[SBR Lou]

Not sure what the point of fighting that hard was, she comes back from losing set one 61, wins the second set 64, goes up two breaks in the 3rd and is serving at 4-1 and then her serve disappears and she loses the next 5 games.

[RiverRaid]

tough loss Crazy. Hard to believe she lost that set after being up 4-1.

[tullamore]

Lou you should find another sport to follow.

Tennis is not working for you.

[EaglesPhan36]

Put here on the NO FLY list Lou. She shoulda been there already.

[SBR Lou]

Put here on the NO FLY list Lou. She shoulda been there already.

Right, just unsure what it is about her mentally that's not clicking. It can't be a physical problem, because she's in great shape, an extremely 'talented' player, very powerful. There's just something not right.

A player like her should not lose to people like Nadia Petrova, nothing against Petrova but come on. And to claw her way back and demonstrate some of her class, then completely disappear up two breaks in the decider just seems hard to grasp.

[Spanks]

holy shit...

[pavyracer]

Wow! Did this bet also lose? Where does it end?

[raydog]

although no model can predict that finish, its time for you to ditch that fukking thing and attempt some nuts and bolts capping. besides the fed. prop (which i hope everyone who follows tennis at all put something down on) that model has buried you lately.

Finalist and semi-finalist at this event the last two years.... has course form.

Ivanovic sacked her coach last week.

[SBR Lou]

Well, 'what are ya gonna do'. I'll take a player up 2 breaks in the deciding set anytime, I've won when a player came back from behind two breaks late in the decider (Agnes Szavay), so perhaps I'm paying it forward here.

[alukk]

dude. dont bet at female tennis

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah I gotta say, this loss had nothing to do with whatever you think of Lou's tennis model. This was a choke job special. These happen.

[jjgold]

You should not trust any woman player they all are very erratic.

[yisman]

A player like her should not lose to people like Nadia Petrova, nothing against Petrova but come on.

Petrova is just as good as Ivanovic. You're acting like Petrova is some scrub.

[SBR Lou]

Petrova is just as good as Ivanovic. You're acting like Petrova is some scrub.

Just as good as her now, I guess so.

But when both players are playing their A game, I don't know that I'd favor Petrova on any surface over Ivanovic.

I'm not saying Petrova is some nobody, but when Ivanovic is blowing hot instead of cold I like her over an in-form anybody.

[pico]

ana is always in form

[pavyracer]

Anyone knows how big this play was?

[pico]

30C...or bigger?

[RogueScholar]

I agree with Yisman, if not for name recognition, Ivanovic would've been the dog in this match. Petrova had all the tools to dismantle Ivanovic, and while Ivanovic helped alot, Petrova is probably the superior overall player.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Wait. People actually believe Lou has a probability model?

[tacomax]

This was her reaction when she was 4-1 up in the final set and someone shouted out "Ana, you're Crazylou's pick of the day". Collapse was then unavoidable.

[pavyracer]

Sorry taco..It looks to me like she is giving an air blow job even massaging the balls.
